- This is footage from Top of The Pops and is the second appearance of Jeffrey Daniel having performed The Moonwalk on UK TV for the first time the week before. He was brought back to appear again after the BBC were flooded with requests.
Check out the latest info on www.jeffreydaniel.com or www.shalamar.info
This guy has talent spilling out of his eyes honestly, such a gifted and amazing dancer. Captivating
Michael would have been proud.
@@MrMetro-mt5qvummm...He is the one that taught MJ the Moonwalk.
@@MrMetro-mt5qvlmao, Jeffry should be proud of Michael 😂
He was the creator of the Moonwalk,he called the backslide,this is the guy that taught it Michael,But Michael just took it to a higher level
@Lyrica81
thats a nick name for him here in the UK.
Electric boogaloos created boogaloo and poping in late 60s ~early 70s, in california. They were inspired by pantomime of french mime artist, Marcel Marceau. Poping is basically miming to music. If you look at Jeffrys routine here, you can see mime moves like 'walking into the wind' with umbrella, that move with tea cup, his hand gestures etc. The glide, back slide is also a poping move thats inspired from pantomime.
It's basically an evolution of waking into the wind. People reference bill bailey, but in my opinion, he had no illusion going. he was just literally sliding backwards. but thats not moon walk. The illusion of mime makes the moon walk work.
Jeffry was a great dancer, but he his time was after electric boogaloos, and he copied/learnt their dance, that had spread into the streets, in 70s. Same as boogaloo shrimp aka turbo, his time was even later in the early 80s. He said he was 14 years old when he met Mj, so he was 80s kid, not 70s.
th-cam.com/video/rb4vUxhow_s/w-d-xo.html
At 0:41 jeffry give credit of the dance to Electric Boogaloos. In 1979, the host ask him what is the dance called, and he replies that " its called 'Boogaloo' which was originated by a group called 'Electric Boogaloos' from long beach. Its also called poping. Boogaloo poping." So its on tape, he is giving them their just dues.
Apparently both jeffry and turbo taught MJ gliding and poping, as well as many other dancers.
If you search on youtube, MJ and Marcel Marceau, there is a video of them meeting on a stage, and of cause its not accidental, mj was paying homage to the lineage of poping dance.
Everyone takes moves off everyone else. So stop saying MJ stole moves. But Jeffrey daniels moves could still be dropped today in a club and would still draw a crowd.
The guy that taught MJ to moonwalk.
Source?
Well done brain Britain .
nemoran Michael Jackson said that he paid a thousand dollars to a black guy to teach him how to moonwalk
@nemoran Latoya said that MJ asked Jeffrey Daniel to teach him the "backslide". Not only called Jeffrey, also called Boogaloo Shrimp. They teach him the dancing style and help him to improve it. Of course Michael is brillant and talent, could performe the dancing style amazingly. Unfourtunately Michael never give them credits. Another thing is that nobody said Jeffrey Daniel invented the wrong called "moonwalk" (real name: "backslide", moonwalk is another move, but Michael wrongly called it "moonwalk") actually nobody knows who invented it. A Michael Jackson's fan should know this. What kind of fan are you?
@nemoran u sound stupid
He is FANTASTIC...!!! He never got the props he deserves...!!!
He was one of the first to do this kind of dancing and of course, he taught Michael Jackson the backslide/moonwalk
Exactly
That's Ok. TH-cam bring everything to light. Great Performance Jeffrey! STILL got the moves!👣👏🎩
@@vijaybhuchar4703 exactly!!!!
He didn’t in the past, but he’s still here & he’s definitely gotten the PROPS NOW!!!! Respect ✊🏽 Mr. Daniel!!!!
I saw JD perform live in maidstone on saturday and was lucky enough to speak to him afterwards. He told me that he influenced michael and helped choreograph a few of his videos. Michael was also an influence on him too so they both learnt from each other and incorporated the moves into the unique styles they have today. I agree that they should both be respected for the talented artists they are!
Yeah he is the gave Michael the moonwalk...... They all got together from Soul train.
THEY NEED TO DO A MOVIE ON HIM
" A NIGHT TO REMEMBER," ON HOW HE DANCED HIS WAY TO THE TOP.
LIKE THE MOVIE STAYING ALIVE, JOHN TRAVOLTA . WORD!
You're absolutely right..he's amazing.
Naa! A movie will cheapen it.
This is *HIS.*
I totally agree
Jeffrey Daniels and Michael Jackson, dance styles are totally different, like fire & water. When Jeffrey dances he's very smooth, classy, cool, graceful and has good body extension. When he moonwalks or backslides it looks as if he's walking on air, with little to no effort at all. He gives the impression of making, you think you can actually, do this move, with grace & ease like him. Think again. Michael on the other hand, dances with power, speed, stamina & dominance. He gives the illusion, of making you feel, like you can dance with energy, power, speed & passion, and move like, him. Not so! Both are excellent, as dancers & performers, also show great mastery in their style of dance. I would say, both become one with the dance, totally captivating their audience. In the spotlight, Michael has been, overwhelming, while Jeffrey has been underrated. I would also, say Jeffrey brings a certain polished, hypnotic, mystique to his dancing persona. Michael brings an optimistic, allure, & awe to his, dancing persona. Even though, I feel like I've grown-up, with Michael and he's inspired me to want to dance, every since I was 7, Jeffrey inspired me also, to dance at 13, pop-lockin. In my opinion Jeffrey is the better dancer. Both are Mega-Glorius! R.I.P., M.J. Dance on J.D.!!!
This!
@@Iowafan92 that took alot of effort to write this couldn't you think of anything else to add lol 😄😄😄😄

Jeffrey Daniel participated in the clip "Bad" .. and danced side by side with Michael Jackson...
I like Michael’s style of moon walking better. Way better in MY opinion.
there is nothing more to say ...
among all others, Jeffrey Daniel is the best dancer !
Jeffrey taught MICHEAl JACKSON the moonwalk.
LOVE, love, love Jeffrey Daniels... dance, clothing style, hair his total fashion sense was revolutionary! Bravo--to a genius!
I can see where Michael Jackson got his moves from in the video Smooth Criminal.
Yeah Jefferey acually helped with the choreography on that video.
Jeffrey taught mj many of the moves.
Michael did it better though
@@samsunggs6998 100% Its easy to learn from someone else than to create them yourself
@@samsunggs6998 Michael has his own style to dance and Jeffrey too. Both are talent. I don't agree with you Jeffrey was amazing doing the backslide.😍 At first didn't liked how MJ did it, but then he improve the move. 😍
i don't care what nobody says!! this dude is the TRUTH on the dance floor!!!
For those of you that don't know Jeffrey Daniels taught MJ the moonwalk and the glide. Yes MJ was poplocking but his style was different in 1975-1977 and he learned the moonwalk and the glide in early 1982. MJ perfected the dance and it became his signature after the 1983 broadcast of Motown 25 when he did Billie Jean. MJ also had other influences that he credits. Fred Astaire, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, The Nicholas Brothes, Jackie Wilson, and of course James Brown.
I've been a huge mj fan for 29 years but you cannot deny Jeffrey's Influence on him.From his style of dancing to his military outfits.Don't know why so-called hard-core fans don't realize this.MJ still was a genius.People mention mj's popping and lockin' on the variety show, but those routines were supposed to be spoofs on the real dance troupe called "The Lockers."Just look up their videos on youtube. Look up their performances from 1975 and the 1979 moonwalking routine it's on here.
Its not just what he does, its how well he does it! He is so under-appreciated.
The man who taught the world how to dance….LEGEND 🙌🏾
One word : Talent.
Two Words -Much Respect! WF-😎 🤩😍😉✌️👌
Jeffrey Daniels is the Ip Man of dancing.
First of all, stop arguing about MJ and JD, they were both great! Jeffery choreographed in many of MJ's videos, including Bad, Smooth Criminal, and Ghosts! Jeffery taught MJ these moves, Michael just perfected them and improved them, alot of dancers do that!! Michael even got half of his moves from James Brown and Jackie Wilson, it's called influence, people! -_-
I can't stop repeat this song. So much better than today's music. I feel so alive everyday.
All the music from that time brings back sooo many memories. Shalimar, The Whispers, Lakeside, Slave etc I saw them a couple times in LC. La back in early 80's !!!!! Long for those days and music
Remember Jeffrey Daniel's we're still practicing dancing and he was better than Michael Jackson in body poping. have you seen the video where Michael and Jeffrey are dancing together in the room in 1995 check it out!! Then you would agree Jeffrey Daniel's was a better street dancer, Locker poper than Michael Jackson.
JD is a trained Dancer. MJ is a singing Dancer big diffrence
@@socceraswelikeit-themanutd1243 No Jeffery was a single too. he was not just a dancer. Just like man Utd lost 5 -0 to Liverpool hahaha
Jeffrey Daniel was the king & original body popping, he taught Michael Jackson.
Born in 1989 here. I want to live in this time. This is better. My generation got stuck with some bullshit.
Why do people compare Michael to Jeffrey Daniel? Michael never admitted to inventing any of his moves, he was obv inspired by many dancers but the different is Michael put that finesse in his dancing, he danced inside the music, Jeffrey Daniel helped choregraph some of Michaels videos, they are both amazing an unique in their own way. Difference is Michael is the greatest entertainer/singer of ALL TIME.
Awesome, Jeffery Daniel is a dancing legend and one of my all time favorite dancers.
That move at 1:14 is killer.
It's video's like this why in my opinion TH-cam is the best thing to ever happen to mankind!!!
Wore out mum's kitchen lino trying this in my youf days lol.
He is the best dancer! Their movements are so soft, they make me fall in love. nobody like Jeffrey the king!
♔♡
👏👏🙌❤😍😍😍
If not the best, then he was the greatest dancer of those days..
I'm a huge mj fan but this is kinda eye-opening. He's a great dancer but mj learned and then perfected those moves. either way both are awesome.
This the man who taught Michael Jackson these moves!!!!!
Top of the pops .... Thursday nights in UK 😂
Thank you thank you Jermaine Stewart for your music,rest in peace dear Jermaine🙏✨🥰🎶🎼🎵🎤🙌❤️
1982 was such a good year, Shalamar, Kids from Fame, Survivor, Evelyn Champagne king all flying high in the Charts.
Simply, the best dancer.
he did teach mj to moonwalk, and he also co-choreographed bad and smooth criminal. He and mj are both great and unique dancers in their own right
man, take it down a notch. Jeffrey Daniel was a fantastic dancer in the 1970's and became a well know choreographer BECAUSE of the initial work he did with Michael Jackson preparing him for the Motown 25 performance. nuff said. As a matter of fact, Jody Watley was also a fantastic dancer and that is how they remained in Shalamar..
OMG I wish I can dance I have two left feet. Jeffrey Daniels is amazing.
Oh this guy was a very smooth dancer props due.
Jeffrey and Michael are both amazing dancer!
OMG WHAT A TREAT FOR MY EYES!! I LOVE THIS!!! MESMERIZING!
I'm sorry although Michael was a world class dancer he could not dance like this ! Jeffreys overall body movements leave Michael behind! Sheer genius! I can this guy dance over and over!
It was Jeffrey that taught Micheal the "Backslide"(Moonwalk).
yes I agree
Agreed, he used the same moves over & over again & rarely used new moves. JD has used new moves over the years
Jeffrey is a great dancer and taught MJ the backslide. But MJ was an unbelievable dancer. He enhanced and perfected all these moves and choreographed many himself. And his body movements were always so smooth and elegant. MJ was a better dancer imo. I like Jeffrey too!
well mike mastered ball room dance tap dance robot break dance etc even turbo said he had no ideal mike was that good jeffery is great but only great at that style
Now i see where and who Ginuwine got his umbrella dance move from in his music video (So Anxious) from. It was from this talented dude...Jeffery Daniels.
I could kill the cameraman for not capturing his footwork. His first performance on the show was much better.
Jeffery Daniel has always been a forc!e to be reckoned with in the dance arts!
The original moon walk.!!
watched it the week before, and the 2nd time around, in them days you watched totp
*BRAVO👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏*
Michael Jackson copied all Jeffrey Daniel's moves :)
@SnotRockets55 I agree. Now don't get me wrong Mr. Daniel is a great dancer/choreographer but like you said "to imply that MJ couldn't dance in general before that is...completely ignorant". I NEVER heard Michael say he invented the moonwalk on his own. He always said he was inspired by others but the thing about Michael is he never copied other people’s moves verbatim. He always took the essence of the moves & made them his own. Plus he had a stage presence & charisma that couldn't be matched.
@TheGovenor88
"Why do people compare Michael to Jeffrey Daniel? Michael never admitted to inventing any of his moves, he was obv inspired by many dancers but the different is Michael put that finesse in his dancing, he danced inside the music......."
True ...and Michael WAS doing all the robot moves and super spins way back in the 70's, too.
I remember and love this group though :>)
Like when Jeffrey does the body popping ⭐️
Jeffrey was/is a good dancer but I know who I'd rather see perform....and thats Michael Jackson.....everybody learns moves off everybody else,you just remember who performs it best...and you don't get better then MJ in my opinion.....I think he expressed dance better then anyone else, with his energy and passion.
Silky smooth :)
Michael Jackson took half these moves and just perfected them, made them more fluid. But Jeffery has to get the credit for inventing the moon walk. Luv the umbrella prop
Moonwalk was out before Michael was born.
Mj did them in mad way. But jafferey did in cool and clear way. Jafferey is best.
Jeffrey Daniels did not invent the BACKSLIDE; Bill Bailey was doing it in 1955.
@@camaradiop3731 other steps ??.
@@sachinbhagat4409
Don't understand, what are you asking?
@LBJTV
Yeah, I know. I was retyping what someone said to be politically correct. Yes, you are right, he did work on Bad and the Dangerous or History concerts as well. Michael even went on to hire him for his MJJ productions. Jeffrey Daniels is BAD!
Funny how people forget the music video to Dancing Machine by the Jackson 5. JD might have been influence by Michael then, and decided to do something with it. Dancing Machine came out in the 70s by the way :)
MJ's timing of his backslide is much better than JD's. It's not that people are reluctant to take MJ off this "Almighty Pedestal" you're talking about, it's just that they CAN'T take him off.
omg .. i heard mj mention several times that jd taught him how to moonwalk ....
If your here because of chart music podcast. Well done
I'm sure that backslide AKA MoonWalk had been around years before anybody ever had a camera to film it. Any mime that wanted to give the illusion that were pushing against and invisible door or be blown away had done this moves. Theres a certain arrogance to thinking that 1 person has created a new way to move the human body
amensupremera That's exactly what I think. I think that someone even like the first men in the planet could have done this before (in a rustic way, I don't know)
Jeffrey Daniel of the soul music group Shalamar co-choreographed the "Smooth Criminal" video with Jackson and Vincent Paterson, who was a back-up dancer in "Beat It" and "Thriller". It was directed by special effects coordinator Colin Chilvers. The dance sequence of the video in the 1930s style lounge (and Michael's white suit and fedora) pays tribute to the Fred Astaire musical comedy film The Band Wagon.
MJ was everything that we thought he was............He just took from another great and took it to another level.........That's all..........
original moonwalk king
Timeless…
The song is nice too.
So bad..for not getting credit for what he deserves....
just awesome!!!!!! IN fact Awesome is too small a word.....
+Joe Carvalho FUCKIN INSANE BRO, FUCKIN INSANE!!!
yeah I agree
He has very similar body type to Michael Jackson. They are both huge legends. Jeffrey Daniels showed the way and Michael Jackson got inspired and upgraded everything to the next level. This network of co-creation goes on and on. Today you can see SKITZO who has perfected gliding(sliding) with many other dancers like iGlide, Storyboard P and Marquese Scott etc. I am also on my way to become my greatest version. You can see my journey on my channel.
Jeffrey is smooth, man...just smooth
Mj teacher
Jeffrey Daniels is truly gifted individual. Have never seen anything like this........!!
This guy working in the factory
This is the guy that caught Michael Jackson's eye 👁️.
I went on to choreographer Jackson's bad video, amongst many others. And became Michael Jackson's choreographer for 20-years!🤯😳
Go check out his résumé!
Jefrey was a little ahead of his time!
Moonwalking long before Michael!
He was BADASS
Respect to #MichaelJackson he did say he didn't invent the moonwalk...Jeffrey Daniels taught him many moves but MJ perfected them to such smoothness both are greats 👊🏿✊🏿
The Moonwalk creator
Damn right ..indeed he was the original
He do the moonwalk but Michael is The beat of moonwalk
JD lean'rt the moonwalk way but in the mid 70's MJ lean'rt it round late 82 to 83,but MJ Mastered it better than anyone.Remember JD taught or MJ some dance moves on the Bad video, and MJ as always mastered that better than JD.
MMM
Thanks to JD who taught MJ how to become a GREAT dancer
MJ finalized the moonwalk! He did it the best!
except one of them is alive and well, the other is a dead drug addict child molester
2:10 here what you came for
@acmdu89 MJ did way more then just moonwalking.
He is killing it yadss
Dude michael jackson is the king of the kings
What a fucking legend!
In my opinion , the greatest dancer of my generation, a natural and a down to earth nice guy
We have to thank this man so much because he's the one who taught are Michael how to moonwalk and if Michael hadn't done that move the world would never be the same
The master
That announcer's hair though. Holy shit!! And Jeffrey- though good onstage with Shalimar, was boring as shit by himself after 2 minutes.
Beyond brilliant 🤩
Michael is more polished
Go boy, smooth as silk.
Amazing
He went in at 1:50 🔥🤯
Even though this routine introduced Poppin to UK.
He was just OK at it.
There were other guys who were phenomenal Legendary Poppers at that time.
hold up, hold up, hold up, he slammed it on the first performance, then gets invited back and slams it again!!! no words, im done ✋😂🤚
